MDT’s commitment to safety!

Hey, ya know those big piles of dirt you see when you travel… What are they for? Why a dirt hill that leads to literally nowhere.

As new projects take off across the state over the last several years have sparked an increase in questions about specific aspects of these large construction projects. MDT has developed an educational safety video on one aspect of these bridge and highway projects that is regularly asked about – surcharging.

Surcharging is a relatively inexpensive process that helps stabilize the ground below a designated road, ensuring the new roadway will be able to handle the expected load. Their goal is to help Montanans embrace this process. It is there to help create a safe roadway while saving thousands of dollars in the process.

Beginning Wednesday 3/13, listen for the cue to text Logjam to 640-4103 to be entered to win a pair of tickets to Missoula’s hottest summer concert!

Contest will kick off Wednesday at 6am and run through Friday at 9pm, and TWO winners will be announced at 10am on Monday 3/18!

Nick Checota, owner of Logjam Presents, sits down with our sister station, Trail 1033, to talk about the biggest concert of the year…Mumford & Sons and Portugal. The Man at Ogren park on August 11th. Nick discusses the new verified ticketing process, the enhancement of the fan experience at Ogren Park, and the new Logjam Presents music venue in Bozeman.

Big Sky Brewing Co. Amphitheater – Missoula, MT

Doors – 5:30 p.m.       Show – 7:00 p.m.

Jack is burnt out on wintertime and will instead be daydreaming of a cold brew on a hot day out at the Big Sky Brewing Amphitheater with Steve and Marty!

Tickets are on sale now starting at $55.00, available at Big Sky Brewing Company, Rockin’ Rudy’s, by calling 866-468-7624 and online at TicketWeb.com or BigSkyBrewConcerts.com.

 

Coming off an extraordinary Spring tour, Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller is looking forward to his summer tour with Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives. Calling it “An Amazing Evening of Original American Music – Classic Rock Meets Classic Country,” the tour is certain to be one of the premiere traveling concerts of summer 2019.

 

“I know it is going to be one of the best musical pairings we’ve ever done and an amazing evening of great American music,” says Miller. “For those Steve Miller Band fans who don’t know Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives — Marty Stuart, Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson & Chris Scruggs — together they are one of the best singing and playing bands EVER and not to be missed. Marty is one of the finest musicians in the world — an amazing singer, song writer and country music scholar and it’s an honor to have him join us this summer for an unbelievable evening of original American music.”

 

Says Stuart, “Steve Miller is a treasure and a true world-class musical citizen.  I so respect him as a singer, a songwriter, guitar slinger, historian, art connoisseur, bandleader and friend.  It’s an honor for the Superlatives and I to run the roads of the nation and share the stage with the Steve Miller Band this summer.  I predict some amazing musical moments out there on the horizon.”

Keep it tuned to your buddy Jack FM 105.9 for ticket giveaways to the exciting summer concert season ahead!

Classic Rock Meets Classic Country
Win the ultimate hunting package!

The best part isn’t the time outdoors, though that’s certainly near the top of the list.

No, the best part about hunting, at least according to Jack, is all the tasty eating that comes for the six to nine months following.

Deer, elk and more deer – that sounds like breakfast, lunch and dinner to Jack.

This fall, Jack is absolutely delighted to offer up a sweet hunter’s package that honors not just the sport – but the eating part, too. Not one but TWO loyal Jackheads will be walking away this month with a $500 gift certificate to Snowy Mountain Rifles plus a chest freezer from Fred’s Appliance.

Snowy Mountain Rifles has been operating in Hamilton for years, but last year they expanded to a new store in Missoula out on Stockard Road. At either location, though, you’re going to enjoy great, personal customer service and a terrific selection of rifles, accessories, camo clothing and other gear, as well as services like gunsmithing and cerakoting.

Whether your game is hunting elk in the high country or shooting steel, Snowy Mountain can hook you up with extreme power, extreme range and extreme accuracy.

And Fred’s Appliance is pretty much a local legend at this point. Need a washer and dryer? Fred’s. New kitchen appliances? Fred’s. They offer big box store prices without being a big box store. They’re local, they’re personable, and they’ll take care of you.

So now the big question … how do you win?

Well, there are two ways. Starting Monday, Sept. 16th, listen out for the elk call on 105.9 Jack FM, and when you hear it just text the word “JACK” to 406-848-1059 … OR … starting that same day you can register in person out at Snowy Mountain Rifles. They’re located at 394 Old Corvalis Road in Hamilton, talk to Greg, he’ll help you out! They’re open 9-6 every weekday and they’ll be glad to get you all signed up.

Jack will draw two winners – the first on Oct 4th and the second on Oct 25th.

Best of luck to ya. And if you do manage to get something tasty in that there freezer, don’t forget who sent ya …
